The men's track and field team competed at the USATF-New England Championships on Sunday at Harvard. In anticipation of next weekend's Heptagonal Championships, a significant number of athletes either rested or did not compete in their primary events.

Sophomore Ikenna Achilihu (Monroe, LA) also won his specialty, the triple jump with a mark of 50-00.5.

Junior Chris Burke (Dexter, MI) was third in the mile at 4:16.51 and classmate Nick Neely (Portola Valley, CA) was fifth in 4:17.29.

Sophomore Matthew Jasmin (Middletown, NY) took fourth in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.50 and senior Todd Kapostasy (Madison, OH) was also third in his event, the high jump. Another third place finish came from rookie Mike Woods (Westfield, NJ) in the pole vault.

Brown also took spots 3-6 in the shot put with sophomore Mathieu Frankel (Newton, MA), freshmen David Howard (Columbia, MD) and Eric Wood (Eugene, OR) and junior Paul Rosiak (Woodridge, NJ) in the circle. Howard also took second in the weight throw at 54-07.25, and senior Kent Walls (Beckley, WV) was third in the event at 53-05.5.
